had a slender build and short, black hair, which gave him a youthful appearance. He bowed. “Konnichiwa,” he said.
    “Konnichiwa,” both Cristal and Damien said.
    Damien bowed, but Cristal remained in her seat behind the desk.
    Nineteen-year-old Hiroyuki Ikeda entered first. He was the oldest of the three by a couple of months, and the appointed leader of the group. He had a slim build, stylish, short, black hair, piercing brown eyes, and a quieter demeanor than the two younger members. “Good afternoon,” he said in English. All three young men had been born and raised in the United States, and Mr. Niigata had gone there to get them and bring them back to Japan.
    “Good afternoon,” Damien and Cristal said.
    Hiroyuki walked over and stood by his manager.
    The next to enter was Izanagi Kato, also nineteen. Like Hiroyuki, Izanagi also had a slim build,  a handsome face, and dark brown eyes, which he enhanced with green contacts. He wore a pair of fashionable jeans and a light blue turtleneck sweater. He topped the look off with a denim jacket. He looked quite faddish and very much in style. Izanagi had a friendlier disposition than Hiroyuki and a quicker wit. He spoke to them in English, too, before joining his senior next to the manager.
    Last to enter the room was eighteen-year-old Kioshi Yamashita. Kioshi could only be described as pretty, poised, and a platinum blond. He wore a black suit with a gray shirt, which enhanced his flawless porcelain skin. His eyes were like chocolate candy, and he stared arrogantly at her.
    Cristal gulped as her panties dampened. Kioshi oozed sexuality and maturity. Though petite in stature, he had an authoritative air to him. He reminded her of someone else she knew. Who? Oh yeah, Satoshi.
    “Konnichiwa,” he said to them in Japanese. He had a softer, more feminine voice than the other two lads.
    Both Cristal and Damien returned the greeting. But Cristal could not take her eyes off the singer. He kept a snide smirk on his lips as she looked him over from head to toe like she was checking him out as a potential date . Hell no. For one thing, he’s too short . At five feet nine, she towered over him. All three of the members of Distraction stood about five feet seven. That was one of the reasons she remained seated. The other reason was because the three younger men always stared at her boobs and legs. “Please be seated,” she said, drawing her attention off Kioshi.
    The trio sat on the sofa while Saburo sat down in the armchair. Damien remained standing.
    Saburo began the talk, filling Cristal in on the group’s activities.
    Cristal jotted all the information down in a tablet. Mr. Niigata had been keeping the group under wraps so nothing about them could get out before their first performance on Saturday. They didn’t have a big part to play in the christening, but Mr. Niigata thought he could leak a snippet of their performance to the media after the christening. He hadn’t even told Aomori of their existence and Cristal couldn’t wait to see their reaction. The group literally lived in the recording studio and had successfully recorded a CD. Their first song, “Victory,” already had a teaser prepared, and Mr. Niigata was waiting to leak it to social media right after their performance at Ichiro’s birthday party.
    Cristal gazed over at Kioshi and found him staring at her with those deep brown eyes. No doubt all three young men were on their best behavior at the moment, but she suspected only because their manager was present. “How is the song coming for the christening?” Cristal asked Saburo.
    “Give her a sample, boys,” Saburo told the group.
    Seconds later, beautiful harmony filled the room, and then it ended.
    Cristal fanned herself with a notebook. Oh my gawd, they’re going to take Asia by storm .
    Damien’s hand stiffened on her shoulder. “That sounded so beautiful,” he said.
    All three men smiled at him. The hand on her shoulder tightened. Could it
